Vegas liked Bears' draft and that says a lot

Ask a Bears fan if his team has done enough this offseason to win the NFC North and he will likely say yes.

Ask a Packers fan if his team has done enough this offseason to retain the NFC North title, and he will also likely say yes.

Then ask them if they had to bet everything they own on their prediction, and there will be some hesitation, if not a complete change of heart.

That’s because money makes you think with your head.

So even though pundits and experts throughout the internet have weighed in on how well the Bears and Packers did in last week’s draft — and the vast majority think they both did very well — I like to look at the guys who deal in money to find true opinions.

And it looks like those guys really loved what Chicago has done.

Vegas put out its initial odds for each team to win the Super Bowl on March 18. Then earlier this week, Vegas updated its numbers based on what all the teams have done in the offseason, and specifically in the draft.

The Chicago Bears were one of just five teams to see their odds increase during that time.

Originally, the Bears were listed 28-to-1 to win the Super Bowl, the 10th-best odds of the 32 teams. After the draft, Chicago leapt to 20-1, currently tied for the sixth-best odds with the Colts and Saints.
